Nicky was an excellent tour guide We really enjoyed this trip I would definitely recommend this tour
Thank you Scott for the lovely day and the fun tour
Nicky was amazing! The best birthday trip. Nicky told us a lot of stories on the way and made this (long) trip not forgettable. We had a small break every 1.5h that made it easier, and in the end was a surprise stop, because the weather was amazing:)
Very good tour for money and time
Scott is a great guide, passionate, funny, and very friendly. He shares his knowledge and his love of Scotland and the Highlands with enthusiasm and passion. We spent a superb day that will remain etched in our memories! Thank you very much Scott 😃
Scott has been our guide and he did a great job! You can tell he likes his job. He puts a lot of enthusiasm into it and the excursion, despite being many hours long, is very enjoyable. The audio guide in Spanish activates as you pass by the sites and it is easy to keep up with the pace. Scott has been very pleasant with us and always wanting to help, and he answered all our questions about the excursion. He recommended several places for us to visit, eat, and have a drink. Everything great!
Excellent guide and very fun
The trip was amazing, Nicky is one of the best guide I ever had, she's funny, kind and tells you lots of stories to know the places better. She really gave us the best experience, got to see lots of beautiful landscapes that I'll never forget ! If you need an amazing guide, Nicky is the one !
The driver Nicky was so fantastic, it was our 25th wedding anniversary and she made it so special. She gave the History of Scotland with so much detail whenever she was discussing the historical sites and characters, she displayed so much knowledge which was so informative and helpful to us and she did all this with so much humour and a lovely smile. I would surely do the tour again with the same company. Excellent driver, excellent tour guide certainly accommodating all tourists and making their day worth while. Thank you so very much.
